Boil some water, then pour the water into a bowl. Put it on a table, sit in front of it, and put a towel over your head so that it also covers the bowl. Breathe deeply, but don't get your face too close to the water, because the steam can burn you.

If you can't blow your nose because your sinuses are all stuffed up, this should clear them out. Probably won't help your ears much, though.
